Dr Hancox, who published the findings in The Lancet, found a clear link between extensive viewing and health risks. Among the 26-year-olds, 17 per cent of obesity, 15 per cent of raised blood cholesterol, 17 per cent of smoking and 15 per cent of "poor cardiovascular fitness" was attributable to watching more than two hours' television a day in childhood, he said. No link was found between television viewing and blood pressure. The associations remained after social background, obesity at the age of five, parental obesity, parental smoking and physical activity at 15 years old were taken into account.
